A 100-hour MRI scan captured the most detailed look yet at a whole human brain. A device recently approved by the U.S. FDA made extremely precise images of a postmortem sample ...

The world’s most powerful MRI machine has scanned its first living human brains. The resulting images give an ultra high resolution glimpse into the brain, to help us better understand the ...

Physicists and physicians have combined two new MRI techniques to reduce the time for a brain scan by a factor of 7 to 10. Faster functional and diffusion MRI scans will boost the national effort ...

It's too late for Lenin, but the University of Pennsylvania's high-resolution MRI scan of a dead person's brain is full of detail. Ex vivo MRI of the brain provides remarkable advantages over in ...

MRI scans have allowed researchers to peer inside the human brain. And the technology is great at revealing damage from a stroke, or areas that light up when we see a face.

The world’s strongest MRI machines are pushing human imaging to new limits Researchers look to scanners with 10.5-tesla magnets and beyond for unprecedented detail about the brain. By ...

The world's most powerful MRI scanner has delivered its first images of human brains, reaching a new level of precision that is hoped will shed more light on our mysterious minds -- and the ...

A comparison of human brain scans using the NexGen 7T MRI at higher resolution (left) vs a standard 7T scanner (middle) and the standard 3T hospital scanner (right). With higher resolution, ...

MRI scanners image the human body by detecting how hydrogen atoms respond to magnetic fields. They typically require fields of a few tesla – about 10,000 to 100,000 times stronger than the Earth ...
